Hi,
I'm 8wks today, due 20th May :):):). I have totally lost my appetite. Every meal, every drink is such a chore! I've been feeling a little sicky in a morning but not actually been sick, I try to have my breakfast as soon as I wake up as I have heard that can help keep the sickness away.
I just don't want anything at all, no drinks, no dinner, no tea... arghh! I am continuing to eat though and having fruit, veg etc so I know my baby is getting everything it needs but I just wish I actually wanted to eat! Eating used to be my favorite hobby, I love cooking and going out for meals, I love watching cookery programs and I so want to enjoy it again!
My friend is 6wks pregnant and she has gone the other way, she wants to eat everything that she see's. I'm not sure which is worse haha!
Anyway, just thought I'd share this in case anyone else out there is feeling the same.
:)

I'm the same, am at 10 weeks, feel a bit sicky very occasionally but never actually sick, but I have lost interest in food. Have to remind myself to eat and force decent sized portions down, have no appetite at all!

I was the same up until a few weeks ago. You might find when you go shopping you will see something that you just have to have! And live on that :lol:
I couldn't stomach anything, I didn't even want to eat anything, and when I went shopping I just really fancied smoked salmon and so I just ate that for a while, wish it could of been something a bit cheaper though:lol:
I am now 15 weeks, and although there are still some things that make me feel sick just thinking about, appetite is pretty much back to normal :)

I wanted to eat the whole house early days.. then i went the other way at 6/7w and i couldnt face food at all - morning sickness kicked right in and no matter what i touched it came out anyway. i avoided expensive meals because they were wasted on me :lol: I am now almost sickness free as of last week and pleased to say my appetite has returned.. only thing is i love veg and fruit but it gives me the most wicked trapped wind i ever encountered :shock:

I can totally sympathise - but I can also tell you it does pass for most women and you'll be able to enjoy food again.
I've only just turned 11 weeks, and right up until last week I suffered so badly from crippling nausea. I HATED food and everything to do with it - ads on tv, anyone talking about food, it all made me feel worse. Around the time I was due my period, I was eating everything in sight, but by 6 weeks that was it and morning sickness took over. I have two girls and I never suffered anything close to it with them!
Over the weekend though, I've been able to actually enjoy food again, although like a previous poster there are still some things I refuse to eat (chicken is my enemy at the moment). Try to find anything you feel comfortable nibbling on, keep well hydrated and my biggest tip would be to try and eat something the moment you wake each day - I found letting the sickness control me in the mornings (ie not being able to eat) made it so much worse for the rest of the day.
You aren't far away from things getting better, chin up chick!

Your not alone!! I will be 7weeks on Thursday and i have lost all interest in food!! I normally love food, and always look forward to my takeaway on a Sat night but not at the moment! I try eating something then as soon as ive finished it i feel sick, not enough to actually be sick and i feel like this all day long! They only think i seem to manage without it repulsing me is a toasted bagel!
I never experienced any of this with my first, i just seem to feel like i have a never ending hangover!! That horrible grogy feeling!! xx

Feel exactly the same, think I'm about 7 wks. I feel hungry but just can't face eating it. Had a roast yesterday and ate half of it and just couldn't face the rest.
Have to make myself have something, little and often is the best I think. I feel so sickly and hungry at the same time, just had some toast but don't feel much better, time for bed I think.
That horrible taste in your mouth doesn't help either.
I've always lost half a stone in the begining of my pregnancies, on the plus side less weight to loose after lol.

Little and often is exactly the way to do it, I definitely found the days I did this I felt much much better :)

I feel the same, although I've not had any sickness yet (fingers crossed). Its like someone has flicked a switch and turned my appetite off over night. Last week I actually posted a thread because I was hungry all the time and now the thought of food puts me off!

I am really struggling to eat - just the thought of it.
Tea and toast seems to be the easiest thing, not full of goodness and nutrients but better than nothing.
It's horrible feeling hungry but not being able to eat, worst of all was trying to do the food shopping this morning to feed everybody else when you're not interested.

I have recently lost my appetite I am just 9 weeks and up until last week I was eating everything! Like somebody said it was like somebody has turned a switch. Hopefully my appetite will come back soon! Hope everyone feels better soon. X

I have just found out I am pregnant and from my calculation I am around 4 weeks. This week I just don't want to eat anything, there is nothing I fancy to eat. I didn't think it would affect me yet but can it affect you at any time? all I could stomach for dinner was a packet of crisps, its like im thinking about everything I eat forcing it down. xx
